Some homes are built. This one was designed with intention. A Jeff Drake custom pool home in The Hermitage, a one-street enclave where both ends close in quiet cul-de-sacs, so the only cars that pass are your neighbors'. A rare and remarkable opportunity. Arrive like you mean it. Manicured hedges frame a sweeping drive, and arched double doors open to soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwoods and a grand staircase. The first impression is instant. Inside, the home is made for living big and entertaining bigger. Coffered ceilings crown the family room, anchored by a brick fireplace and walls of arched windows. Beamed ceilings define the billiards room, and a light-filled formal living room invites conversation. The kitchen is where everyone gathers, with double wall ovens, a gas range, dual wine fridges and a stone-topped island with seating for four. A sunlit dining area sits just steps from the patio. Your private retreat awaits in the primary suite, with its own fireplace and warm hardwoods. The spa bath has a freestanding soaking tub, a frameless glass shower and dual vanities, and the walk-in closets are custom built. There is room for every chapter of life: generous bedrooms, a dedicated home gym, a laundry room with full cabinetry and a sink, and storage everywhere. Out back, resort meets backyard. A sparkling free-form pool, a brick-paver patio with a built-in grill, and a deep, sprawling lawn wrapped in mature, private greenery mean your weekends are handled. A three-car side-entry garage keeps the façade pristine. What sets this property apart isn't just its size or location. It's the standard of every home around it. Many neighborhoods mix styles and values. The Hermitage offers architectural harmony and prestige throughout, so your investment is lifted by its surroundings. And then there's the lifestyle you're buying. Midtown is minutes away, with Food Glorious Food, Table 23, Lululemon, J.Crew and Casa Grande. Three minutes north is the Market District, home to Sage, Connors Steak & Seafood, Hearth and Soul, Tallahassee Diamond Center and Loli & the Bean. Publix, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Fresh Market are all within five minutes, and parks and trails are right at your doorstep. Morning coffee runs. Evening dinners out. Quiet nights by the pool. Urban living without giving up space or serenity. This is The Hermitage.
